1967 Cadillac DeVille Convertible

One owner, low miles (52,000) , National award winner

It is not very often when you can buy a quality vehicle that has remained with one owner/ family for 47 years and has a documented full history. This is just that vehicle.

This spectacular car has been treated like a family member since it was purchased back in 1967. We hate to finally part with it, but garage space will soon be gone and my grandson has no interest in cars. What a shame! This is a fantastic car for the lover of Cadillacs, convertibles and quality restoration work that has kept it close to original as possible. This is truly a beautiful example of a very low mileage 1967 Cadillac DeVille convertible. This car has been photographed for books, won awards at National Cadillac Meets and been pictured in major auto magazines. It has never been smoked in. This car has been in the National Cadillac-LaSalle Club since 1985 and carefully follows the authenticity manuals.

I have supplied numerous pictures of the car and many more are available for serious buyers, upon request . They will show it as it is today as well as some pictures of its history and prior work that was done on it. Just ask and I will send them. I welcome questions about its past and condition. It is not absolutely "perfect", but just about everything has been taken care of and it shows beautifully. These cars always need something...even if only to make it slightly nicer and satisfy your pride. That's what having a classic is all about! You would never recoup the amount of money spent over the years.

A little bit of the car's history:

1.July 1967: Purchased from Mel Gooch Cadillac in Utica, New York and immediately driven to Washington, DC where it spends the next 11 years (1967-1978) garaged at a DC Embassy house and home of the Executive Director of the Sons of the American Revolution. It was used occasionally, since the Embassy supplied a car. I have a picture of the car in front of Embassy in 1967.
2.1978-1988: Car was re-located to Houston, Texas when my father-in-law retired. Again the car was only used when Sunday drives were desired and the weather was right. He had an air conditioned garage to combat the humid Houston summers. He preferred his Toyota truck to do daily work related things. He didn't want to get the Caddy dirty!
3.1988: My father-in-law passed away and I took ownership of the vehicle and drove it to Philadelphia where I lived at the time. I joined the Cadillac-LaSalle Club and have been a member ever since. Great organization. Mileage at the time was about 24,000.
4.1988-89: A major cosmetic restoration was done that took about 5 months. It included a professional factory, quality re-paint in the original white color, re-chroming of some items, and other cosmetic upgrades. Mechanically it was perfect. The car was disassembled to make sure there was no rust inside fenders , doors, trunk, etc. I have pictures of the work available. Numerous car shows followed, where it won many trophies in local events.
5.1989: The first time I displayed the car at a Cadillac Grand National Meet in Boston, MA it won a 2nd place.
6.1991: The next Cadillac Grand National I went to was in Cincinnati, OH and the Cadillac got a 1st place in its class.
7.1993-1996 :Moved to the Boston area and got a 3rd place at the 1991 Cadillac Grand National in Albany, NY.
8.1996: This car was featured on the cover of the Self-Starter (National Cadillac –LaSalle Club Magazine). Picture of magazine cover is available.
9.1996-2000: Moved to Columbia, SC and had the engine totally re-built in 1997. All the receipts are available and will be provided. The engine was removed and just about everything, but the block , was replaced. Mileage at this time was about 32,500.
10.2001-2014: Moved to the Charleston, SC area (Kiawah Island) and have continued to perform regular maintenance. Car has been shown at several local high-end , concours meets.

Over the years this 47 year old classic has received lots of premier maintenance. I have always tried to keep it “original” and never put anything on or in the vehicle that didn't come from the factory. When possible, only GM parts are used. If it needed something, we never waited till it got bad, we just fixed it. The Caddy was never in an accident in 47 years, so only items that wore out or maintenance items were fixed. The engine compartment has recently been professionally detailed, and it shows real nice. This car always starts even after months of sitting in the air conditioned garage. It has a very clean under-body with only normal light road dirt. Numbers match. Transmission is very smooth. It comes with a vinyl top cover (and storage bag) for covering the convertible top when it's down and it has the original jack, tools and spare tire. The following is a list of the major things done to the car:

Professional off body re-painting and re-chroming of many items (1988-89)

Complete Engine re-build (1996-7)

Rear springs and four shocks (1999)

New Carpet (1989)

New engine fan (2012)

Latest set of New tires ( 2012)

Latest New battery (2014)

Re-balance drive shaft (1999)

New brakes (2011)

New radiator (2012)

New gas tank (1997)

New muffler/tail pipe (2009)

New exhaust manifolds (1997)

New Front suspension/ tie rods, ball joints, idler arms,control arms (2001)

Replaced Weather stripping (doors, roof rail, trunk, body mounts, and hood bumpers) (2001)

New original factory type Convertible top with glass window (2004)

New A/C system -evaporator, dash control unit , blower motor and compressor (2009)

Windshield washer motor (2001)

Master cylinder (2009)

Power brake booster (2009)

Heater core (2009)

New window regulator and electric motor in drivers side door (2014)

New front seat belts (1999)

All belts, hoses and fluids changed regularly.

I would consider this a really nice #2 condition car. It is driven and not trailered. Current mileage of 52,056 reflects only about 1100 miles per year. I have many spare parts, Cadillac body and service manuals, as well as other Cadillac items that will go with the car, as well as pretty much all the maintenance records and prior registrations/titles to document the mileage. This car enjoys road trips, swap meets, drive-ins, car shows, and just cruising around town to get admiring glances. I even have the official factory build sheet showing the options on the car, the date it was built and other info.

I always get questions like these. Here are the answers. If you have more, please ask.
The glass is perfect,the body is laser straight, there is no rust, there are no water leaks and yes, the convertible top is correct (a glass window, not plastic). Top mechanism is original and still works fine. Dash has no cracks. Body panels fit as close to perfect as they can. Yes, it even has the small tiny chrome spear on the front license frame (most cars have lost this.....very rare).

Since I said it is not perfect, here are just a few smaller items that I have not gotten to yet:

1. The clock has stopped working. I have a replacement which I will give to the new owner.
2. The A/C will need a re-charge....went out on last trip to Jacksonville.
3. The floor mounts of the power front seat need to be tightened. (It has a slight rocking back and forth)
4. Original AM/FM Radio works fine, but sometimes the station dial sticks when you move it to change stations. Buttons work fine and automatic antenna works as it should. Rear speaker sometimes shuts off (must be loose wire).
5. I will supply a new rear taillight chrome bezel to replace the one on the car that has a few scratches.
6. Edge of drivers seat has some small wear on piping.

You can drive it anywhere or have it shipped. I just did a round trip to Jacksonville, Florida (about 500 miles) without any issues.(except the a/c stopped on the last 50 miles!) . Engine always runs cool, never overheats. Cruises at 75 for hours with hardly any effort. The 429 CI engine that puts out 340 HP does the trick and , surprisingly, the gas mileage was about 17 MPG. I will be happy to work with your shipper. I have a perfect eBay rating. Best of luck bidding.

2017 GMC Canyon steals Cadillac's V6 for a little more power

Mon, Aug 29 2016

GMC is fortifying the Canyon with a new powertrain and two new trim levels for 2017. GMC will give the Canyon the 3.6-liter V6 found in the Cadillac ATS, CTS, CT6, and XT5 crossover. The engine will be matched to an eight-speed automatic transmission, which also can be found on Cadillacs, the new 2017 Colorado, and other General Motors vehicles. The new engine comes with variable valve timing, improved direct injection, and Active Fuel Management, which is a form of cylinder deactivation that shuts off two cylinders to increase fuel efficiency and performance. Power is up from 305 to 308 horsepower, while torque increases from 269 to 275 pound-feet of torque compared to the old 3.6-liter V6. With the new transmission, the Canyon benefits from a higher first gear ratio, which should help drivers get off the line more easily when towing large cargo, and lower overdrive ratios for improved fuel efficiency. The 2016 model had a six-speed automatic. The Colorado also gets the eight-speed transmission for '17. GMC previously announced the All Terrain X and Denali models. The All Terrain X trim is offered on the SLE model and comes with the new 3.6-liter V6 engine or the 2.8-liter Duramax turbo-diesel. The All Terrain X gets Goodyear Wrangler DuraTrac P225/65R17 all-terrain tires, a body-color grille surround and matching rear step bumper, bespoke 17-inch aluminum wheels, and a spray-on bedliner. The truck also is fortified with Hill Descent Control and an off-road suspension. The Denali carries the flag as the most luxurious Canyon model and gets a Bose seven-speaker audio system, more chrome, and interior upgrades. In addition to the new models and the powertrain, the 2017 Canyon will be offered with new colors – Dark Slate Metallic, Mineral Metallic, and Red Quartz Metallic Â– a new IntelliLink radio with a seven-inch touchscreen, a heated steering wheel as an optional extra, and Standard Teen Driver Mode. The 2017 Canyon, with all of its changes, will be available in the fourth quarter of the year.

Cadillac Elmiraj has production potential

Tue, 20 Aug 2013

There are many reasons to love the Cadillac Elmiraj Concept, but not the least of which is how production-ready this big coupe appears to be. Take out the overly fancy interior and a few conceptual elements of the exterior, and this looks like a coupe that could be in dealers now as the successor to the Eldorado.
On top of that, Automotive News is quoting Bob Ferguson, Cadillac senior vice president, as saying that a production version of this car is "very doable." AN adds that if the Monterey showstopper gets the green-light, this car would compete against the upcoming Mercedes-Benz S-Class Coupe and would based on Cadillac's upcoming rear-wheel-drive flagship sedan due out in 2015. The range-topping coupe would debut sometime after the sedan model. Cross your fingers.

Cadillac chief says ATS convertible, wagon on the table

Wed, 15 Jan 2014

What we do know is that the ATS will wear at least one more bodystyle. That comes from Cadillac head Bob Ferguson, who answered "Absolutely" when Automotive News asked him about the possibility of another variant. What we don't know is what that bodystyle or styles will be.
We now have a sedan and coupe ATS, there's supposedly a V sedan coming. After that, a convertible is a likely option given that the man who just became the global product honcho at General Motors, Mark Reuss, admitted to having one already designed in 2012. The decision on it can't get out of the underworld and a wagon is the other option, but the droptop would seem to make the most sense if one considers the competitive set: the BMW 4 Series and Audi A5 convertibles are hot property and Mercedes is bringing a C-Class convertible. Meanwhile wagons are the sentimental utility vehicles that, refusing to die, seem forever destined for life support... CTS Sport Wagon, anyone?
Based on Ferguson's statements, it appears that what Cadillac definitely won't do is play model variant catch-up with the European luxury brands it has spent years hunting down, telling Automotive News, "We want to keep our focus on a limited number of vehicles and do them very well."
